EDDIE ROBINSON, AGE 14, DROWNS IN FARM POND
     Eddie ROBINSON of Irvington, Ky (Breckinridge County), was drowned 
Monday, July 31, 1961 on the VANLAHR farm, operated by Bill LUCAS.
     Eddie, with three other Irvington boys, Billy JONES, Jimmy KELLER, and 
Roger CRIST, were on a raft when it capsized leaving them in deep water.  
Billy saved Roger while Jimmy was able to take care of himself, but the two 
who could swim, were vain in efforts to rescue Eddie.  Jackie Wayne CHAPPELL 
recovered the body from the pond, and was assisted by Daryl Alexander and 
Francis DOWNARD.
     The funeral services were held on Wednesday, August 2, 1961 from the 
Irvington Methodist Church, with the arrangements by the Alexander Funeral 
Home of Irvington.  Burial was in Cedar Hill Cemetery in Irvington.

Surviving Eddie are:
his parents, Mr and Mrs Morrow ROBINSON, Sr.
three sisters:
Sharon Faye ROBINSON
Margaret Lynn ROBINSON
Janet Carol ROBINSON
one brother:
Morrow ROBINSON, Jr.
his grandparents:
Mr & Mrs Coleman CARMAN of Locust Hill, Ky (Breckinridge County)
Mr & Mrs Frank ROBINSON of Harned, Ky (Breckinridge County) 



Additional Comments:
I did not find a tombstone for young Eddie in the Breckinridge County 
Cemeteries, volume one, published in 1991.
